Fifth Grade Pack Blessing Bags
The entire fifth grade gathered together to celebrate Thanksgiving with a service project designed to connect our students with the needs they see around them. People all around our city are experiencing homelessness and struggling with basic necessities. Especially during these winter months, cold temperatures make that situation all the more hopeless.
The fifth graders spent the last several weeks gathering supplies and today packed over 200 blessing bags to disperse around Charleston. They filled each bag with gloves, hats, socks, food items, hygiene items, and a lot of handwritten notes of God’s love and hope.
As part of this project, the parent volunteers partnered with local warming shelters, stocked community blessing boxes and sent each child home with blessing bags to have on hand and ready to disperse. Armed with the task of seeing the need in front of them and answering it immediately in a tangible way, these fifth grade students are already making a huge impact in and around our city!
